What has influenced American Culture the most over the past couple of generations?

Each one of us can picture in our minds the images of the Kennedy assasiantion, whether they were alive when it happened or not. Same goes for the Iranian hostage images, Challenger explosion, 9-11, they lasit can go on and on.

On a lighter note, we all know who Lucy is, and Beaver, the Brady Bunch, the gang from Cheers, and Bart Simpson.

For better or worse, TV lets all of us see it all.
